Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've written nothing but ANSI C for the last
8 years and have never had a problem compiling it on any machine.  I
don't see this as being a huge issue.

Depending on how deep I want to dig, I may have some patches to
ParseTuple() that would make life easier for some of us extension
writing fans.  As it is right now, my experimental version of Swig
is using it's own version of ParseTuple (for various reasons).
Also, out of curiousity, is anyone making heavy use of the CObject
type right now?  

Cheers,
